Share
The Details of the Question
- It is not permissible to eat mussels according to Hanafi madhhab. Accordingly, is it permissible for a Hanafi person to sell mussels in his restaurant?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is haram to make Muslims eat something that is not permissible. From this viewpoint, it is not permissible to sell mussels according to Hanafi madhhab.
However, according to the other three madhhabs, it is permissible to eat all sea / water animals including mussels. (see al-Fiqhul-Islami, III/ 678-688; TDYV. İlmihal, II/41).
It is not haram for a person who sells mussels to sell people mussels thinking that they belong to the madhhabs that regard mussels halal.
